NPR: Code Switch: Frontiers of Race, Culture and Ethnicity

The NPR blog, Code Switch, is a mashup in the best sense of the word. Code Switch combines different types of media - audio, video, text and images - with content based on lots of loosely-related topics and perspectives in a way that inspires the visitor to see things differently. Blog host Gene Demby says, "We're hop-scotching between different cultural and linguistic spaces and different parts of our own identities — sometimes within a single interaction." The most recent three posts as of April 14, 2015 are on the Korean pop music sensation, K-Pop; key facts on recent police shootings; and an art exhibition currently on view at New York's Museum of Modern Art, "One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North." There are also posts about food, including what turns up on seder plates, and even Mr. Spock. A post from February 27th reproduces a letter from Mr. Spock to a biracial girl, published in the now defunct teen magazine FaVE! in 1968.
